HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 c235W
Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will analyse the results from Holland and other countries where traffic lights have been removed in an attempt to reduce road deaths; and if he will make a statement. [73687]

Mr. Jamieson

The Department is always interested in ways of making roads safer for all, especially for vulnerable road users, and in reducing unnecessary street furniture. My officials will be looking at the work in The Netherlands and elsewhere, and at the context in which it is being done, to see what lessons may be transferable to this country.
